Officially below cancer levels! Goes back in for more testing in June, after he goes back on nights.

Friend's Mom (who I also call Mom) is dying. Visited her in the hospital. She is in a lot of pain. She has two lungs full of cancer, cancer in her bones and spine. They are radiating some in her pelvis and spine to help her to be able to move again. Really sad, she was denied cancer biopsy 5 years ago by Blue Cross when the first unidentified mass was found in her lungs.

KtC, great news about your dad...YAY!
Sorry to hear about your mom's friend. That's terrible that they wouldn't do further testing. Did she threaten them with a lawsuit or decide to leave it be when she was denied? She'll be in my prayers.

Tennis, hope you get some more answers after today's testing. Are they doing nerve testing on you and that's what the pin cushion statement was about or something else?

It's my best friend's Mom, but my Mom does know her too. We sold our old house to her. She did think about it, but she is low income, our old house is the first house she and her husband ever owned. They are the ones who taught me that credit cards are evil. They taught me how to be happy with little and still live a real life, and that adults can be social. I owe her so much (not to mention she single-handed-ly kept me from starving in high school, because I'm the kind of person who simply forgets to eat until I stop moving and realize my insides are trying to eat themselves.) So with no money for a lawyer, and the banks trying to take the house we not only sold them, but helped them to buy (my grandma "bought" some of their furniture so they could have a down payment - and my dad paid rent on one of the buildings so he could keep using it while they worked the interest down.) they didn't pursue any legal action.

I for one am happy to finally be back on woot, even if I did miss the Bunnies Ogling Carrots or was that just a facebook tease?

Sorry I misread your earlier posting. Glad that you got to visit her while you were at your parents. I'm sure she appreciated you stopping in to see her.

Hmm, thought the woot-off had stopped the other day. Don't remember them ever having two in one week or have they when I've been away from here?

I didn't realize it was a woot-off again until about 3 today. I think that they were having too many server problems so they stopped the woot-off until they fixed the problems, it's really rare they do a one day woot-off anymore.

Oh, I know it's usually a multi-day woot-off nowadays. For some reason I thought there was one within the week prior to this one starting. I must have been dreaming.

So...docs are finally leaning toward an official diagnosis now. All things point to a pituitary tumor. MRI is tomorrow. Finally feeling better about all of this, since there seems to be some progress in figuring out why I feel like poop all the time.
